This course will teach you how to successfully manage projects as a Business Analyst!

The fact is, not every project can have a dedicated Project Manager. Sometimes the project is simply too small, or doesn't provide enough value to warrant the overhead costs of another dedicated team member. 

As a Business Analyst, having the necessary skills and techniques to successfully manage your own projects dramatically increases your value to the company, thus putting you in a great position for future promotional opportunities.

Hear What Our Students Are Saying:

"Great course, very clear. easy concepts."  -Gerardo A.

"Very eloquent in explanation of concepts for beginner level consumption." -Jenna H.

"I find this to be an excellent course. I have already learned some techniques that I plan to implement in my current contract role, in hopes that it may lead to a full time offer in the near future. I am also taking this instructor's Business Analyst Fundamentals course. I find them both to be very good, and there is some overlap of the material. I enjoy Jeremy's personality, and I can tell that he really enjoys helping others learn and giving them the tools to help them progress in their careers."  -Samantha B.

"Excellent...just what I need!" -Syed


Why should I enroll?  

Project Management is an extremely deep and wide-ranging topic. Many colleges today have four-year degrees strictly focusing on managing projects. This course is designed to take the important aspects of all those classes and align them into one bite-sized course. You will learn how to successfully play both the Business Analyst and Project Manager roles. 

I cut out all of the fluff and unnecessary steps to focus your learning on what is important.


What bonuses are included?

  • You receive a Stakeholder Map template! This template will allow you to be effective and efficient in creating Stakeholder Maps.

  •  Also included is a RACI Matrix template! This template will enable to you accurately assign and document stakeholder responsibilities for your projects.         

Outside of the templates, you also gain access to an industry expert! I am not just the instructor of this course, I am also a resource and a mentor to give you guidance and tips to begin or advance your career.

"Really enjoying course. I'm doing this after the BA Fundamentals course and it is piecing a lot of the Project stuff together for me. Very helpful." -Bede J.

"I am getting to learn more than I expected,interesting!! I got what I was exactly looking for,especially the gaps that I had to fill in. Since I am a person from different country & have migrated to a different country & though certain principles as a PM/BA don't change but some do, & the same made me to take this course to fill in those gaps. I am confident that this is really creating hope & confidence in everyone like me who is aspiring to be a PM/BA.Thanks Jeremy" -John S.

It was a good match. It provides the right amount of information to get started as a Business Analyst or Product Owner of a project. It ensures that not too many details are included so that the course looks like it overwhelms the students. If tweaked as per the relevant project details, team structure and collaboration mode this can add more value to every project it is applied to.

Yes, definitely. It's helping me to cover the gaps in the process required for a successful project. Helping me to understand the differences between the roles and responsibilities and match back to my experience thus far. I'm very excited. Additionally, the time for the presentations are super adequate providing information in small chunks so that I'm not overwhelmed or bored.

Helps align, understand and visualise the expectations from management . A more professional approach would of been for management to be upfront with regards to expectations

Very thorough for a business analyst to learn the more important parts of PM and how it relates to their position and what they might need to do in order to assist or even drive projects.

Objectives stated clearly from the start. Lectures are a bit long but beginning level learners might appreciate the detail. I would edit it down a bit.

Wie immer sehr strukturiert und verständlich erklärt - ähnlich zum Kurs "Business Analysis Modeling Skills & Techniques", aber gute Wiederholung!

This course matches me well because it clearly explains what I need to know as a business analyst. I will recommend it to anyone.

I feel like the instructor could be a bit more personable and engaging. While I know this is a recorded video, it feels flat and can turn dull after several videos. Maybe integrate some pop quizzes in the video to proceed; perhaps 1-2 questions about what was discussed. Also, maybe interject a bit more energy in what is being discussed. These types of courses are long winded and drag on a bit, but adding some spark to it keeps the viewer's attention.

Jeremy is an awesome tutor... He makes any topic to be interesting His explanations are very accurate, to the point and very easy to understand. He should create another course about "How to teach anything!!"

I am certified PMP and have BA Staff. Taking this course to evaluate potential for my staff to better understand Project Management needs and integration of skill sets where appropriate.

Déjà l'articulation et l'aisance du formateur inspire confiance Ensuite, après avoir passé encore plus de temps dans la formation, ca devient intéressante avec des sujets plus techniques et pratiques.

Instead of focus on Business Analyst it is more focused on Project Management processes for Project Manager
